I realize its not the case with this article, but most articles that talk about Perry trying to roll back the New Deal and questioning Social Security are supposed to scare off voters and sink him. They are having exactly the opposite effect with me.

And they'll have exactly the opposite effect on every voter who has a clue about our current situation. Social Security has to change along with the rest of the welfare state, fundamentally. Either we recognize that in 2012 and start making the necessary changes or we sink. Perry gets it. No other serious presidential candidate does.

Maybe the clueless will be numerous enough to reelect Obama. If so, buy some arable land in a place with a long growing season, stockpile ammunition and watch society come unglued. We have to turn away from the New Freedom, the New Deal and the Great Society. If we don't we have no future, it's as simple as that.
